Mineral Water and Gas at Martinsville.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARTINsvILLE, July 18-The workmen on
the gas well at this place have been making
haste slowly for the last two weeks on account
of the flowing water which has boon impeding
the work. Three times have the castings been
removed from the we'll to check the flow Of
water, but no sooner would the workmen begin
to 60 deeper than a fresh and q stronger vein of
water would be- found. This water is disagree
able to both smell and taste, on account of
its mineral characteristics. Many who
know say that tho water is very
much like that obtained at the mineral springs at
various places. Those who have been visiting at
Blue Lick Springs say that there is little. if any.
difference between this water and thai at those
springs. The people here are highly elated over
the finding of such valuable water. and this
topic is the universal theme of conversation
upon the streets. Every one takes some OF the
weter home to drink, and the enthusiasm in
favor Of using the water instead OF continuing in
quest of gas is growing. There is an abundance
of the water, and it flows in large and con-
slant stream from an incsion in the side Of the
casing. The stock company, however, have de-
cided to continue in search of gas. and, if it be
not found, the water will be utilized. The gas
project here is sure to be profitable. If gas be
not found this city will certainly become a very
popular summer resort The city is convenient
ly located is beautiful little place. and is sur
rounded on all sides with beautiful scenery. 1t
is already popular with number of persons for
summer residence.
